It seems today is the day to emphasize “Forgiveness”

Everywhere I turned today, I ran into new tidbits about “Forgiveness”. I don’t believe in coincidence, because I believe in the verse Romans 8:28 which reads . . . And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. NIV

So . . . it seems He is trying to bring home to me a truth that needs to be reexamined!

Forgiveness is an act of love and obedience

It isn’t dependent on who the person is, what the person has done or how many times they have done it.

In fact it really has nothing to do with the person who hurt you.

It is all about you and your relationship with God.

I’m so thankful that He loves me enough to command me to do this. Because at the end of the day I know I can say, “God of second chances and new beginnings … here I am again, Please forgive me…

Daniel 9:18

We make this plea, not because we deserve help, but because of your mercy.

Loaded with Fears

I don’t care how tough you are.

You may be a Navy SEAL.

Doesn’t matter.

Every parent melts the moment he or she feels the full force of parenthood!

How did I get myself into this?

My moment came in the midnight quiet of an apartment

in downtown Rio De Janeiro, Brazil,

as I held a human being—my daughter—in my arms.

The semi-truck of parenting comes loaded with fears.

Will we have enough money?

Enough answers?

Enough education?

It’s enough to keep a parent awake at night.

God has a heart for parents!

Are we surprised?

After all, God himself is a father.

What parental emotion has he not felt?

But because of his great love for us,

Romans says, “he did not spare his own son but gave him for us all.

So with Jesus, God will surely give us all things!”

ALL THINGS—

must include courage and hope!
